New sculptures for the 2026–27 Art Encounters collection were installed in five Douglas County communities, the county announced Aug. 13. The locations include Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker and Roxborough.
The outdoor program brings work by local and national artists into public places for a year-long exhibition. The county described dozens of new pieces across the participating communities, rather than a single indoor show requiring a museum visit.
The Douglas County Cultural Council conceived the program in 2007. Funding has included support from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District and the Philip S. Miller Trust. The county’s collection link identifies the sculptures available to explore during this exhibition cycle.
